Product Overview

Divide and conquer with AD Lab and the flexible infrastructure of AWS. This proven forensics tool helps you power through massive data sets, handle various data types and run multiple cases at the same time, all within a collaborative, scalable environment. AD Lab uniquely enables distributed processing, allowing investigators to utilize additional hardware to dramatically increase their case processing and resolution speed.

While a single-person lab can radically speed up their processing using the four-worker distributed processing engines (DPEs) available with FTK®, labs handling massive data sets, utilizing a distributed workforce, or looking to collaborate with attorneys, HR or other parties, can step up to AD Lab.

As a centralized investigative platform, AD Lab adds powerful web-based review functionality and expanded DPE capabilities (up to 16 with the 6.2 release) with a centralized processing farm and centralized database infrastructure. With AD Lab, you get the fastest processing available on the market with virtually limitless scalability (depending on your own hardware). And AD Lab's state-of-the-art data visualization drives you to deeper analysis by uncovering relationships and patterns that make better decisions possible.

Highlights

Unsurpassed processing speed. Leverage a shared, distributed processing farm to process massive datasets in a fraction of the time it would take using traditional computer forensics tools.

Near limitless scalability. Massive data sets are no longer a problem. Scale up as high as your case demands. The scalability is limited only by how much hardware you’re running.

Real-time collaboration. The centralized database architecture and one shared case database keep all parties on the same page and allow you to work through your cases at a record pace. With the web-based review system, non-technical users (attorneys, HR personnel, outside experts) can participate in the process without delay, regardless of their location.
